79. So fine why did you feel it necessary to respond to my opinion then?

We can disagree about Jane she did not do any damage to me, or my men. You never did respond to my assertion that the lifers (Republicans) in the rear were stealing our supplies and selling them to the enemy for profit at the expense of American lives. To me that is a much bigger offense than anything Jane Fonda did or did not do. You also obviously did not serve with the people I did so your experience may differ. The only times I met people in favor of the war was when I went back to the rear areas. Them that had a roof over their heads at night and were fighting a sunup to sundown war, if they fought at all.
On one of your posts you said that Jane said she "wished she had an American plane in her sights", I did not respond to that but since you found it obligatory to respond to me, give me a link to that if you have it since you seem to know it so well. The only place I can find that is on blogs, RWNJ/CT websites. I would like to read it, if you have it. Just a request, if you have it handy.
